Apave Strengthens Its Presence in the Middle East with Key Inaugurations in KSA and UAE
A New Chapter in Saudi Arabia
Apave has marked a major milestone in Saudi Arabia with the inauguration of new premises in Riyadh on Monday 8 September, and a state-of-the-art testing laboratory in Dammam on Tuesday 9 September. The Riyadh office provides a modern, collaborative space for our teams and a welcoming environment for our clients. These larger premises, a symbol of our strengthened presence in the Kingdom’s capital, are a direct response to the growth of our activities in the Kingdom, which began in 2022 with a workforce of just 25 employees that has since doubled.
The new Dammam laboratory represents a pivotal expansion of Apave’s service offering, providing a comprehensive range of mechanical, metallurgical, and environmental testing solutions. This advanced facility is equipped with cutting-edge instruments such as the ICP-OES for trace element analysis, a Carbon Sulfur Analyzer for metals, and specialized equipment for environmental monitoring. The Dammam lab is poised to support key sectors by delivering the precision and data necessary to ensure the safety, durability, and compliance of critical infrastructure and industrial projects.
These inaugurations are a reaffirmation of our role as a trusted partner in Saudi Arabia's ambitious future and our dedication to supporting Saudi Vision2030.
Reinforcing Our Commitment to the UAE
In the United Arab Emirates, where Apave has been present since 2017, it has further strengthened its position with the inauguration of a new advanced testing laboratory in Abu Dhabi. This new facility is a testament to the combined strength of the Apave Group and its subsidiary Apave-Lonestar, which has been a trusted local partner since 1992.
This is the fourth laboratory for Apave-Lonestar in the UAE, joining existing facilities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This expansion significantly increases the group's capacity and service range in the region, ensuring clients have access to a full spectrum of advanced testing solutions. Offering over 300 testing solutions, the lab's capabilities, covering primarily civil / construction material testing, geotechnical soil investigation, and topographic surveys, are designed to empower industrial development and promote a culture of safety and quality.
